Question

the two amendments that apply to the federal and state governments, respectively, are the
a. second and fifth
b. fourth and fifth
c. fifth and fourteenth
d. fourth and sixth

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall U.S. Constitutional Amendments: The Fifth Amendment applies to the federal government (dealing with due process, self - incrimination, etc.), and the Fourteenth Amendment applies to state governments (incorporating many Bill of Rights protections to the states via the Due Process Clause). The Second Amendment is about the right to keep and bear arms, the Fourth about search and seizure, the Sixth about criminal trial rights. So the correct pair is Fifth (federal) and Fourteenth (state).

Answer:

c. Fifth and Fourteenth
